FANTASTiC | 28 September 2021 | 737 MB
Loopmasters’ award-winning, cloud-based sample curation and sequencing software Loopcloud makes producing music in a particular genre, such as House, easier than ever! In this short tutorial series, designed for complete beginners to production, you’ll learn how to use Loopcloud to create all the building blocks you need to produce a quality Tech House track in your music software.
The course runs through setting up Loopcloud in the DAW then some of the basics when it comes to sample browsing, showing how to quickly and easily find relevant drum oneshots for making House. This is followed by a demonstration of how to take those oneshots and instantly sequence them into loops in the player, so they can be exported as custom-made samples into your music software.
After a guide to using multiple tracks in the player, which shows how different samples can be combined together to form comprehensive musical ideas, the included course session files for beats and melodies are opened up in Loopcloud, then fully explained, before loops are exported and laid out to form an 8-bar groove.
The course ends with an introduction to track arranging, showing very simple techniques for using the exported loops to build up the different sections like intro, breakdown and drop. Although the tutorials use Ableton Live, all techniques are very straight forward and easily transferable to any other music software.
Enrolling on the course gives you immediate 24/7 access to an hour of streamed tutorials, plus the Loopcloud session and pattern files from the course. With Loopcloud being completely free software, everything shown in the course can be done simply by downloading the installer and following the instructions in the tutorials.
